After updating local DNS (added address), data is lost over +- 5 hours (dev branch)

Just checking, probably unrelated: Any other additions like custom web pages or third party plugins?

You have quite a few instances of failing query fetches:

*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: contents of /var/log/lighttpd

-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 4123 Nov 20 13:51 /var/log/lighttpd/error.log
   -----tail of error.log------
(gw_backend.c.2154) response already sent out, but backend returned error on socket: unix:/var/run/lighttpd/php.socket-0 for /admin/api_db.php?getAllQueries&from=1605342564.802&until=1605860964.802&types=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13&_=1605860964544, terminating connection

Those could be related to unknown status values:

*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: contents of /var/log

   [2020-11-20 13:44:42.421 12938M] Error: Found unknown status 12 in long term database!

   [2020-11-20 13:44:42.421 12938M]        Continuing anyway...

Could well be prompted by status 12, which was introduced only recently.

To preclude you accidentally spoiled your database:
Did you perhaps experiment with the corresponding ftl fix/retries_master at some time in the past?
